Congenital heart defects: tetralogy of Fallot a maybe, my 1 year old?
my daughter who is 13 months old has had episodes of blue (Any other symptoms: no breathing problems, do not drown, not to mourn.) Anything other than ordinary, but the blue and moody sometimes. but the doctor is sent to a ped. cardiologist for an electrocardiogram and echiocardigram. She has had two heart / chest radiographs. wouldnt have shown on a radiograph? I'm not sure. Just wondering. Thank you.
A chest radiograph is the most basic diagnostic tools. Only shows a schematic core of the heart. I would think that if they see the problems involved in heart muscle and valves then have to do ultrasounds, echo and electrocardiogram to determine if he had described malformations in this disorder. Or to point out where is the problem if you do not find them. You can also MRI want to do and hopefully you'll get answers quickly.
